Hello All,I need your urgent Support to know how to re-enable the USB Ports again, as I disabled them by using/enabling local group policies that prevent them from working in Windows server 2022.But after that when I changed the status of these policies to be disabled or not configured when I connected any USB drive to these ports I got a message "Access denied " when I tried to open these USB drives.Noting that the Register for enabling the USB is "USBSTOR" I set the value to be "3" and the device manager is showing that the USB ports are enabled and working.Waiting for your kind urgent suppo

  Type gpedit.msc and click Ok.(it will open Local Group policy editor)

  Select (dot) Not Configured or
